    We are all created in the image of God. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? It means every mortal that has ever been created by God has god-like attributes that can be found in their life.

    We all like some things. (1) WE ALL LIKE TO BE APPRECIATED We all like to be appreciated for WHO WE ARE and WHAT WE HAVE DONE! Illus: Thinking about being APPRECIATED FOR WHAT WE HAVE DONE, did you hear about the artist that asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings ...read more

    Mother's Day: This message addresses singleness, and speaks to single women and single mothers. It even speaks to widows. If you are searching for love, then look no further, because the answer is found in God and Jesus.

    This morning, for our Mother’s Day message, I’m going to approach this holiday from a different angle. The normal approach is to celebrate our mothers and compliment them for their many sacrifices, which is definitely warranted; however, today, I going to share some practical help from the ...read more

    Jesus drops a bombshell while performing a miracle, confronting Messianic expectations. Can we trust Jesus' word that he has the authority to forgive sins?

    One of the greatest science-fiction movie scenes of all time is the scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, in which Luke Skywalker, the young hero of the rebel forces, the man in whom we are putting all our hope, confronts and duels the leader of the evil and oppressive Empire, Darth Vader. ...read more

    We will learn that one cannot hide from God but that one can run to Him.

    I suppose we all have played hide and seek. Some of you – or us – still look for a hiding place when our wives make a list of some major tasks – for us – like vacuuming the carpet, or emptying the dishwasher, or taking out the trash, or picking up socks or putting our clean things in the ...read more

    The Promise Is Received By Faith PRO Sermon

     | 42 views

    God’s promises are guaranteed by grace, not our strength; faith trusts and obeys even when we doubt, because grace secures what God has spoken.

    Some days faith feels like a full sail on a steady sea. Other days it feels like a flickering candle cupped in the wind. I think of you who walked in today carrying quiet questions. You who love Jesus and still wonder how His promises stand tall in a world that leans hard. You who have prayed for ...read more

    True strength and clarity come from worshiping God with undivided hearts, ministering to Him in prayerful devotion, and listening for the Spirit’s leading.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us came in with calendars crammed full and hearts running on low. You may feel stretched, hurried, or a little hollow. Find your seat. Breathe. The God who knows your name is near. He is not nervous, and He is not in a rush. He is here to meet with His people, and He loves ...read more

    Trusting Jesus brings peace amid life’s storms, as He prepares a true home for us and invites us to reflect His welcoming love to others.

    If you’ve ever come home on a rainy night, you know the relief of a porch light and a door that opens. Shoes squeak, coat drips, and someone says, "You’re here. Sit down. You’re safe." Isn’t it something how a house can feel like a hug? Smells of supper in the air, a chair pulled out just for you, ...read more
